The Anthurium Papillilaminum RA6 x Fort Sherman S1 is an elite hybrid that concentrates the most sought-after traits of two legendary Papillilaminum lineages. The S1 designation indicates that this plant is the result of self-pollinating a premier RA6 x Fort Sherman individual, a process that stabilizes and intensifies its unique genetic characteristics. This cross is celebrated for its ability to produce incredibly deep, light-absorbing foliage and a powerful, architectural silhouette. This specimen is perfect for collectors who seek a dark-form Anthurium that combines historical pedigree with a refined, velvet appearance.

This is an established plant rather than a seedling. Consequently, the individual you see in the photos is the exact plant you will receive. Because this plant is already fully rooted, it displays its unique genetic traits very clearly. It offers a rare opportunity to own a world-class hybrid with significant future growth potential.

Intense Obsidian Tones and Plush Velvet

The genetic profile of this S1 generation focuses on achieving maximum darkness and a luxurious leaf surface. For instance, new leaves typically emerge in a saturated, deep violet or ink-colored burgundy tone. Later, these leaves harden off into a matte, near-black obsidian. The RA6 and Fort Sherman influence ensures that the foliage has a heavy, light-absorbing velvet texture. Furthermore, the selfing process often results in even more pronounced traits, such as an aggressive, wide-lobed sinus and a thick, durable leaf substance. As a result, each new leaf becomes a dramatic centerpiece in any collection.

Strong Root Systems and Reliable Growth

We grew this plant with great care to ensure it is fully acclimated and resilient. A robust root system currently supports the development of its heavy, velvety foliage. Therefore, the plant will transition smoothly into your personal collection without stress. Unlike younger seedlings, this established specimen already possesses a stable growth habit. This represents a secure investment because the most vulnerable stages of development have already passed.
